There has been a major break through in charged cooled
rotary engines by going to high tech and real expensive silicon
nitride roller bearing for the rotor bearings. The max RPM has gone
up from about 7500 RPM to 11,000 RPM. The 2 rotor AIXRO version
based on the Norton geometry is now putting out 130 HP
at 11,000 while weighing only about 22 kg or about 50 pounds.
The former MidWest/Austro version was limited to about 100 HP.
The P-port Mazda 13B rotary will produce about 300 HP at 9500
to 10,500 RPM with pressure fed plain bearings including
the rotor bearings.

This is the engine in supercharged one rotor form and on
a para-glider that flew over Mt. Everest at 27,000 feet.
